If a startup shuts down, chowdeck is king.
“How are they doing it?” go full everywhere.
But when it’s time to actually pay for the service, suddenly they’re thieves.
Please go and hold the people responsible for your financial mathematics over food.
Chowdeck is not the enemy
This might sound insensitive, even though I understand the perspective you’re coming from, but it is the truth.
Ultimately, Chowdeck is a business that provides a service. Customers have every right to stop using it if they strongly believe the value Chowdeck provides is not commensurate with its prices.
If the markups, delivery fees, and service charges are not worth the convenience or reliability the platform promises, it is perfectly fine to explore alternatives.
That said, I often encourage people to refrain from lamenting about prices unless they have a strong understanding of what it costs to deliver the service. It is only when you understand the average cost of providing that service that you can confidently claim that you are being “ripped off” or “robbed.”
Just recently, it was reported that another food delivery platform had shut down. Yet Chowdeck has remained in the market and maintained its reliability. People talk about its riders and its platform, but all those resources require investment and capital. How do you think they came to be?
Again, you can always go to Adunni Buka whenever you want to eat their food. But if you would rather make a selection from your home and have someone deliver it to your doorstep, I’m afraid that convenience comes at a cost.
If Adunni Buka also believes that Chowdeck’s pricing is not commensurate with the distribution value it promises, it can build its own app, eliminate the middleman, and perhaps capture significantly higher margins.
Ultimately, if people genuinely believe they are being ripped off, the simple solution is to consider providing a similar service. Perhaps they can offer it at a lower price and capture a significant share of the market.
By the way, Chowdeck’s pricing also “scratches my body,” and nothing vexes my soul more than that “tip our rider” shii. But I know, and I fully understand.
Also as a first timer in Redemption City, all I can say truthfully God is here.
Although I came for Upper Room as one of Minister Dunsin's team, I am definitely going to come back again, while I was at the stage sighted @PastorEAAdeboye about 20meters away from where I was staying, I can only pray for one thing, the grace this man carries, I want more of it. There is an aura around them that I can't simply explain.
Oh to add, Redemption City is a Vatican city of Nigeria, I visited where they generate electricity, you just have to give kudos to the vision behind this city, talk about good road network, security and medical centres across the city.
Oh I should also had that they overfed us the PSF and the church, I had to give out the foods to other people who couldn't get more cos the overfeeding is too much. Just to let you guys know I am officially a Redeemed member.
Last Quoted Tweet.
Yes it’s a long one because that tweet pissed me off.
This is exactly the kind of thinking that makes the workplace harder for women.
As a team lead myself, leading 10 men and two women in a male dominated space, this has refused to leave my head.
Has anyone ever looked at me that way?
Has someone ever taken a professional disagreement, a challenging conversation, or a moment where I had to hold someone accountable, and reduced it to a future sexual fantasy?
That thought is uncomfortable.
Women have to be confident but not “too much”. Direct but not “aggressive”. Firm but still “likable”.
We have to lead, make decisions, challenge people, and set boundaries while knowing that some people may still view our authority through a completely different lens.
How did we get to a place where a woman exercising leadership can be interpreted through anything other than leadership?
This thing gets easier with practice.
If I was editing this three months ago, I'd take the whole week. Perhaps, I like my face too much I just want to make sure I look the best. Anyhoos, I'm sharing my 2cents on event marketing
